Many different species can be used within each design that we produce which could affect the cost. Please note that photos of wood do not represent the exact color or grain of wood as all wood has variations in color and grain. Photography of wood is difficult at best due to lighting and other issues. Consistency in color and grain is artificial and not natural and should never be applied to the wood flooring world. Exact color matching is impossible in the wood flooring industry.
